JOHN SZTOGRYN, or N WA K, NEW-JERSEYI LAUNDRY BOILER ATTAGHI VIENT. i

Application filed February 23, 1928. serial mi; 25 ,203.

The present invention relates to laundry boiler attachments and particularly tor boilers embodying a plurality of coii'ipartmentsestablishments in bags. Therefore, the prin cipal object of the present invention is the provision of an attachment for a boiler such as hereinabove indicated upon which individual laundry bags may be suspended and c thus their loss or inisplaceinent prevented.

Another object of the present invention is i through said casing permitting therewithin ,free pivotal movethe provision of a hook associated with a door of a laundry boiler compartment, which remains in closed posit on when the compartment door remains elosedpand which automatically opens on opening the door.

l Vith the above general objects in view and others that will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing and pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawing forming apart of this appli *ation, and in which like designating characters refer to corresponding, parts throughout the several views,

Fig. 1 is a top elcvationalview, partly in section, oi a laundry boiler with a plurality of compartments, with each of which the present invention is intended to operate;

Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view along line 22 ol Fig. 1, illustrating the position of the invention when the door of one coin;

partnieiit with'which the attachment cooperates, is closed;

Fig. 3 is a similar view illustrating the position of the attachment with the coinpai'tment door open and his. 4 is a. perspective view of a device will 'n which the attachment is pivoted.

' a sectional detail view of the tube,

and socket used in my device. l tererring to the drawing in detail there is shown a boiler of cylindrical formation generallyindicated by divided into a number of sections or compartments 11 by radial walls or partitions 12. The boiler further includes a stationary top wall or cover 13 which is positioned centrally of the boiler,

and which is of polygonal formation. Said cover is mounted upon the inner ends of said partitions 12. number of doors 14- are affixed to the sidcsot' said stationary cover 13 by means of hinges 15, each of said doors 1 1 overhanging one partition 11.

.The above described construction of laundryboiler is the usual construction. My invention includes a number of hooks 16, each intended to operate with one partition 11, and particularly with door 14. Said hook 16 is positioned with the lower hook end below d'oorld, and has-its inner end flattened as at 17, which is pivotally .mounted upon pin 18 and which is positioned within slot 19' in the casing 20, said slot 19 extending 20 at both of its ends,

Said

ment oil-the inner end of hook 16.

positioned within slot 21 of the casing 20 is door 14 means of screws passingthrough apertures 22 made in horizontal plates 23 integrally formed with and extending from the upper end of said casing}, 20. Said inner flattened end 17 of hook 16 extends above door 14 and above plates 28 and is pivotally mounted upon pin 24 within bifurcated extension 25 of tube 26. Said tube 26 at its other end has an inward flange 27 for the purpose hereinafter stated.

Theouter end of rod 28 is provided with head 29 which is receivablewithin said tube 26, and encompassing said outer end of said rod28 andinterposed between said inner flange 27 and head 29 is a coil spring 30, which, normally, when door 14; closed, remains compressed as seen on Fig. 2. The other end of saidrod 28 is threaded and receivable within threaded socket portion 31 of the pivoted anchor32; The length of said rod 28 may be adjusted by driving it within socket portion 81 orby extending the same therofron'i. nut 33 holds said rod 28 in its adjusted position. The other endotsaid socket portion 32is bifurcated as at 3a to receive therewithin lug35 upon which said socket 32 pivoted by means of pin 36, and upon which said socket 32 including rod 28 is adapted for angular shifting movement in a vertical plane. Said lug 35 is integrally formed with a horizontalplate 87 which is mounted upon the stationary section cover 13 and which isaflixed thereto-bymeans of bolts 38 and nuts 89.

When door let is closed the outer end of andlis mountedupon the door by hook 16 remains within a thimble or paper,

10, asshown on Fig. 2. Further shifting movement of the outer end of hook 16 will be prevented by the bottom 41 of said thimble 10' and said thimble will be maintained in its position and guarded against'displacement from door 14 by means of flange 42.

In the closed position'of door 1 1, shown on Fig.2, spring 30 remains compressed within tube'26, said spring exerting pressure at the head 29 of rod 28 and at the inner flange 27.' By virtue of said. pressure of spring 30 upon the inner flange 27 and also by virtue of the inherent horizontal position of said tube 26, rod 28 and socket member 32,

the inner flattened end 17 0f hook 16 above its pivot point 18 will be drawn towardthe center of the laundry boiler, in consequence upon the inner tlange 27. Tube 26 in that last ClQSCllbBClPOSltlOH will have a tendency to push the inner end of hook 16 in the opposite direction from that last mentioned, which will cause the disengagement of the outer end of hook 16 from door 1 1 and thimble 40, bringing'about the opening of said book 16 as shown'on Fig. 3. p

Fl'OIIl the he'reinabove description it will be apparent that upon opening .door 14 a laundry bag may be suspended upon'hook 16. Thereupon f on closing door 1 1 and bringing hook 16into'lthe engagement with said door the suspended-bag will remain looked upon hook 16 preventing any possibility of its disengagement until door 11 is again opened.

\Yhile there is described herein a preterred embodiment of the present invention, it is nevertheless to be understood that minor changes may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope. of the invention as claimed.

\Vhat Iclaini' as new is: p I 1. In combination, a laundry boiler having a swinging door and a support to which it is hinged. a laundry supporting hook having, one end pivoted to said door ainl the otherend normally closely adjacent the insideot said door in it, closed POllLlOll, and a connection between the pivoted end of said hook and said'support providing means to open and close said hook when said door is 3 opened and closed respectively.

2. In combination, alaundry boiler having a swinging door and asupport carrying the door, a laundry supporting member mounted for swinging movement. on said door and normally held in a position clo:-'.cl v adja cent said door for preventing removal of laundry therefrom, and a connection between the pivoted end of said member and said support providing means to swing said memher to open and close said book when said door is opened and closed respectively.

In combination, a laundry boiler hav ing a door and a support carrying the door, a laundry supporting hook monnlcd l'or swinging movement on said door, a keeper seated in an opening formed in the door for receiving an end of said hook when the hook is in closed position, and a connection between the other end of said hook and said support providing means for swinging the end of said hook into and out ot the keeper carried by the door when said door is opened and closed respectively.

4. In combination, a laundry boiler having a swinging door and a support to which it is hinged, a U-shapcd laundry supporting hook having one end extending through and pivoted to said door and the other end normally closely adjacent the inside of said door, a keeper carried by the door for rcceiving the end of the hook lying closely adjacent thereto, and a connection brtwccn the pivoted end of said hook and said support providing means to open and close said hook when said door is opened and closed. respectively.
